MINUTES OF THE , <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,October 14,2013 � <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT, Continued) <br /> Loftus asked if the Council would like the information presented at the public hearing to be more general <br /> or more detailed. <br /> Levang stated in her view it should be specific to the Orono portion,which would be the gateway and <br /> then the additional stretch of road. <br /> McMillan requested Staff check to see if they are available in November and that Council would have a <br /> better idea of what type of information would be required following the October work session. McMillan <br /> stated in her view the City should have a short meeting perhaps prior to the November Council meeting to <br /> answer the residents' questions. <br /> Printup noted there is a joint City CounciUPlanning Commission work session,and asked what is going to <br /> be on the agenda. <br /> Levang indicated it would be on the Lakeview Golf Course. <br /> Printup stated he does not remember reading Lakeview and that perhaps the notice could be more <br /> informative than simply public hearing process. <br /> Loftus noted Staff has asked all the Council members to come in on their off week and join the Planning <br /> Commission for a work session prior to the Planning Commission's 6:30 meeting in October. The <br /> Planning Commission will be discussing the Lakeview Golf Course's request for a comprehensive plan <br /> amendment later that evening. Loftus indicated it will be a fairly large subdivision application and will <br /> be a big change to the area. <br /> Loftus stated the work session will allow the Council to understand the process and the requirements <br /> associated with that application. The work session and Planning Commission meeting are open to the <br /> public and Staff will provide sufficient public notice. Loftus indicated the discussion will be general and <br /> will not be specifically discussing the sketch plan but will be more related to the process that will be <br /> followed. Loftus stated the intent is to get both the City Council and the Planning Commission prepared <br /> for what is being requested. The Lakeview application is scheduled to come before the Council on <br /> November 12. <br /> Loftus noted another item on the agenda is alternative energy systems and the public is also invited to <br /> comment on that. Loftus indicated both items are advertised on the city's website for public input. <br /> Printup noted the Long Lake Fire Department event was a success and that the memorial looks very nice. <br /> Printup indicated he also visited the new learning pavilion and that the area has some beautiful scenery. <br /> Printup stated he has not been in that area for 25-plus years and that the visit brought back a lot of good <br /> memories. <br /> McMillan noted the school also thanked Orono Staff for their help with permitting of the pavilion and that <br /> the Long Lake Fire Department thanked the Orono Public Works Department for their assistance in <br /> grading the site. <br /> Page 20 of 23 <br />
